Modern data center applications have multi-megabyte instruc- tion footprints that easily exhaust on-chip cache structures, which typically have a size of only a couple hundred kilobytes. Consequently, today's data center applications suffer from frequent Instruction cache (I-cache) and Instruction Transla- tion Lookaside Buffer (I-TLB) misses, causing performance losses worth millions of dollars. To make matters worse, the multi-megabyte instruction footprint of the Linux kernel pre- cipitates an undue burden on the performance of data center applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
